Late onset of this disease is correlated with having two mutant alleles of ApoE4.

Late onset of this disease is correlated with having two mutant alleles of ApoE4. Galantamine and rivastigmine are common treatments for this illness, in which overexcitement of glutamate receptors can cause nerve cell death. Microtubule disintegration occurs in this disease due to hyperphosphorylation of (*) tau protein. Sufferers of this disease exhibit degeneration of the cerebral cortex, as well as aggregations of hyperphosphorylated tau protein, neurofibrillary tangles, and amyloid plaques. For 10 points, name this most common form of dementia.
